Micah 7:14-20
New American Standard Bible
14 (A)Shepherd Your people with Your (B)scepter,
The flock of Your [a]possession
Which lives by itself in the woodland,
In the midst of [b]a fruitful field.
Let them feed in (C)Bashan and Gilead
(D)As in the days of old.
15 “As in the days when you went out from the land of Egypt,
I will show [c](E)you miracles.”
16 Nations (F)will see and be ashamed
Of all their might.
They will (G)put their hand on their mouth,
Their ears will be deaf.
17 They will (H)lick up dust like a snake,
Like [d](I)reptiles of the earth.
They will come (J)trembling out of their [e]fortresses;
To the Lord our God they will come in (K)trepidation,
And they will be afraid of You.
18 Who is a God like You, who (L)pardons wrongdoing
And passes over a rebellious act of the (M)remnant of His [f]possession?
He does not (N)retain His anger forever,
Because He (O)delights in mercy.
19 He will again take pity on us;
(P)He will trample on our wrongdoings.
Yes, You will (Q)cast all [g]their sins
Into the depths of the sea.
20 You will give [h](R)truth to Jacob
And favor to Abraham,
Which You (S)swore to our forefathers
From the days of old.

Revised Standard Version
14 Shepherd thy people with thy staff,
the flock of thy inheritance,
who dwell alone in a forest
in the midst of a garden land;
let them feed in Bashan and Gilead
as in the days of old.
15 As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt
I will show them[a] marvelous things.
16 The nations shall see and be ashamed
of all their might;
they shall lay their hands on their mouths;
their ears shall be deaf;
17 they shall lick the dust like a serpent,
like the crawling things of the earth;
they shall come trembling out of their strongholds,
they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
and they shall fear because of thee.
God’s Compassion and Steadfast Love
18 Who is a God like thee, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger for ever
because he delights in steadfast love.
19 He will again have compassion upon us,
he will tread our iniquities under foot.
Thou wilt cast all our[b] sins
into the depths of the sea.
20 Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob
and steadfast love to Abraham,
as thou hast sworn to our fathers
from the days of old.
